Isn’t it amazing that we can stimulate or “trigger” emotions in our prospects using stories, words, images and phrases on a page?

I think that is totally mind-blowing!

With stories, and certain words and phrases cleverly strung together in the right places in our sales copy, we can trigger a thought or an emotion in our prospect, almost like we’re hypnotizing them, and get them to make a decision, which in most cases, is to pull out their credit card and buy on the spot.

Here is a list of 52 persuasion triggers that stir up emotion and/or help create a certain state of mind. A big shout out goes to Dave Newton for this, because I stole (with permission 🙂 ) from his Facebook wall.

This is not particularly a list of ‘trigger words’, but rather a list of themes, stories, mindsets and emotions you can embed into your sales letters and advertisements to provoke the emotions, and ultimately a buying decision in your prospect.

Using triggers to stir up emotions and ideas in your prospects mind IS the ONLY way to write effective copy. So I strongly suggest you study and apply these into your marketing.
